Peter King's Defensive Player of the Week

"Seattle MLB Lofa Tatupu, with three tackles, an interception, a hit that knocked Carolina running back Nick Goings out of the game, and a complete mastery of a defense. That's rare for a first-year player. I remember Dr. Z talking so highly about Tatupu around draft time, and everything he said has come true. The kid's a brilliant playmaker and runs a new defense like he's been in it 10 years -- even with the mild concussion that he suffered against Carolina."

In a word: Tatupuriffic!
